EXPOSITION.
The destruction of our spiritual enemies is complete. We
may exult over sin, death and hell, as disarmed and disabled
_for_ us by our conquering Lord; may he graciously give them a
like defeat _within_ us.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 38.--"_I have wounded them_," etc. Greater is he
that is in us than he that is against us, and God shall bruise
Satan under our feet shortly. #Ro 15:20|. ^W. Wilson.
Verses 38-40.--Though passion possess our bodies, let
"patience possess our souls." The law of our profession binds us
to a warfare; _patiendo vincimus_, our troubles shall end, our
victory is eternal. Hear David's triumph, "_I have wounded them
that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou
hast given me the necks of mine enemies," etc. They have wounds
for their wounds; and the treaders down of the poor are trodden
down by the poor. The Lord will subdue those to us that would
have subdued us to themselves; and though for a short time they
rode over our heads, yet now at last we shall everlastingly tread
upon their necks. Lo, then, the reward of humble patience and
confident hope!--^Thomas Adams.
